NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

On July 10, the "Little Emperor" James announced that he would join the Miami Heat, and the heated battle for James came to an end.

James, Wade, and Bosh formed the Miami Big Three and launched an attack on the championship.

James joined the Heat through a sign-and-trade method, leaving the Cavaliers with a little property.

James first signed a 6-year, $110 million contract with the Cavaliers, and then traded with the Heat, giving the Cavaliers four draft picks and a trade exception worth $14.5 million.

James also came with the Cavaliers center "Big Z" Ilgostas.

At the same time, the Heat renewed the contracts of a large number of players, including the team's locker room leader Haslem, Jamal Magloire, Carlos Arroyo and other players.

Eddie House and Mike Miller also announced their joining the Heat, and the Miami team transformed into one of the strongest contenders for the championship.

With the three big fish joining the Heat one after another, the league's free market became open.

Carlos Boozer, the "three-surnamed slave", signed a five-year contract worth about 75 million with the Bulls.

After the Bulls officially announced the signing, Jazz spokesman Jonathan Reinhart said that the Jazz gave Boozer and a future protected second-round draft pick to the Bulls in exchange for a trade exception.

Center Asik also signed with the Bulls, and Ronnie Brewer left the Grizzlies to sign with the Bulls.

The Bulls also traded Genillo Pargo for guard C.J. Watson to strengthen the backcourt.

Ray Allen and Pierce announced that they would stay with the Celtics to continue their fight for the championship.

O'Neal also joined the Celtics at the veteran minimum salary, and the Celtics also signed Van Wever and renewed Nate Robinson.

Single Joe also successfully renewed his contract with the Hawks and continued his journey as the Hawks King. This six-year contract worth $124 million will make the four-time All-Star's annual salary exceed 20 million!

At present, the only big fish left in the league seems to be ‘Little Overlord’ Stoudemire.

There is also Chris Paul. Paul can’t wait to leave the Hornets. Many championship teams in the league have expressed interest in this super point guard.

But Paul seems to be only interested in joining the Lakers. At the same time, the Lakers have begun to pursue Stoudemire to strive for Kobe to build a team that can compete with the Rockets.

The Lakers are the team with the highest salary in the league. Their salary is 94.74 million dollars, which is more than 7 million higher than the Rockets.

But the strength of the two veterans Artest and Odom is obviously beginning to decline. There is also ‘Little Shark’ Bynum. After losing his mother, Bynum’s state is visible to the naked eye.

This also made Kupchak determined to strengthen the team, and Stoudemire and Paul are their targets.

As a famous GM in the league, Kupchak began to negotiate with the two teams.

After about a week of negotiations, insiders of the league revealed to the media that an earthquake-level deal is coming again.

The Lakers sent Artest, Odom, Bynum, Shannon Brown, two future draft picks and some cash to the Hornets and the Suns to reach a deal.

The Lakers got Stoudemire (sign-and-trade), Paul and Grant Hill.

The Hornets got Bynum, Odom and two future draft picks.

The Suns got Artest and Shannon Brown, as well as some additional players with matching salaries and some cash.

The Lakers formed a super lineup that is enough to compete for the championship.

Point guard: Chris Paul;

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant;

Small forward: Grant Hill;

Power forward: Amar'e Stoudemire;

Center: Pau Gasol.

Their bench also has strong players such as Fisher, Blake and Barnes. Like the Rockets, it is also a super five-star team.

Tang Yu sighed when he saw this deal. This was really a self-inflicted blow. After getting Morris, it turned out like this.

The West was really like a collision between Mars and the Earth, which made Popovich, the always very stable Spurs coach, complain.

"What's the point of this? Just let the Lakers and Rockets play directly, and the entire West will become a two-person show!"

Some netizens complained that they didn't dare to play like this in the game, so what's going on now!

The remaining players' signings can really be said to be uninteresting.

David Lee was traded to the Warriors, and Lee has agreed to a sign-and-trade deal.

In this way, Lee will get a 6-year, $80 million contract, and the Knicks will get Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf, Corunna Azubuike and a 2012 second-round pick.

At the same time, the Warriors also signedOn July 14, the Bobcats sent Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinca to the Mavericks and received Eric Dampier, Matt Carroll, and Eduardo Najera. On July 17, Rudy Gay also renewed his contract with the Grizzlies. Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay has officially signed a 5-year, $82 million contract with the team! On July 23, the Timberwolves sent Jefferson and received Kosta Koufos, two future first-round draft picks, and a trade exception. Among them, the Jazz's trade exception was obtained when they signed and traded Carlos Boozer with the Chicago Bulls, and they traded Jefferson to fill the vacancy left by Boozer. With the Timberwolves completing the contract extension with Darko Milicic, signing "Europe's No. 1 center" Nikola Pekovic, and trading for Michael Beasley from the Heat, Jefferson is no longer their "non-saleable".

After Jefferson leaves the team, Kevin Love will become the new core of the Timberwolves.

On July 23, after hearing many offers, the Thunder matched a contract from the Knicks for restricted free agent Durant. KD will sign a 5-year maximum salary contract with the Thunder, with a total contract value of 85 million US dollars.

The free agent market in the league was basically determined at the end of July. After entering August, Tang Yu once again made the last icing on the cake deal, making the Rockets team almost impeccable.

Signed Korver, Garance Stephenson and cash for the Bobcats' Dior and the Nuggets' "Birdman" Chris Anderson for $5 million.

The Rockets' final lineup is almost finalized, and the 13-man team list is about to be announced.

Point guard: Stephen Curry, Patrick Beverley, Sun Dasheng;

Shooting guard: James Harden, Tracy McGrady;

Small forward: Carmelo Anthony, Sean Battier, Boris Diaw;

Power forward: Dirk Nowitzki, Serge Ibaka;

Center: Yao Ming, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Anderson.

Tang Yu looked at the list of players, "Damn, one ball is really not enough!"
